We have been waiting for this! Google is making major strides in its search for Android phones

Owners of phones, tablets and other Android devices will probably see new options for their search very soon. One for which many wait several years. According to the analysis of its basic application “core” Play Services, Google is preparing a similar service, which is used very effectively by Apple in this respect. Novelty Find My Device is to be a part of all Android devices with Google Play Services (with the exception of eg Huawei mobile phones) and will enable them search with the active help of everyone else. For the most part, about three billion active pieces of electronics with Android around the world could become radars when searching for a lost phone or a watch.

Find My Device as Google’s new Android mobile search feature

So far, the status is that there is a Find My Device application (yes, the name for the new built-in feature will probably be exactly the same), which is available in the Play Store. However, it has the power to search in the hands of the searcher only for the facility in which the person is logged in. On the contrary, the new function is intended to enable searching (resp. anonymous localization) and strangers. Just as the iOS system or SmartThings Find from Samsung allows, for example.

If Google completes this news, and code snippets in Google Play Services beta 21.24.13 They really suggest a lot, he could do it this way cover the whole constellation of Android devices. At least those that have a pure form of this system. Manufacturers who already have their own solutions will probably have a choice, as will be the case with their superstructures. As with Nearby Share, which came after many companies already had their own file transfer options. It is definitely a welcome news that can make a lot of people save hours or days of suffering when searching in vain for a mobile phone or other smart electronics.

Have you ever searched for a cell phone using a similar service?
